Well that was an Adventure!
30 hours of snow and 10.5 hours without power! The snow stopped around 5pm yesterday afternoon, but the power didn't come back on until around 11:30pm.
No power, besides no light, also means no internet and, more importantly, no heat. I was also quite popular, as four people called me in a row (local grandparents, mum, dad, and bff), but since I was without power and therefore incapable of recharging my phone, I could not talk to anyone for very long. So I spent the daylight hours reading and spying on the crazy people who ventured outside, ate a sandwich for dinner in the twilight, and then huddled under the covers with my iPod (which I had thankfully just charged recently) since it was rather too dark and too cold for anything else.
Before the power went out, though, I went for a quick snow frolic to take some photos.
Snowed-over cars in the car park.
Cold and bundled-up Laura-Bunny!

Names for this storm include Snowpocalypse II: This time it's personal; Snowpocalypse II: Electric Boogaloo; and Snowpocalypse II: Snowtorious B.I.G.
